On Thursday, 261 San Antonio Independent School District students were inducted into Gamma Sigma Girls. The new club is a sorority-style organization with a focus on advocacy, college-readiness and community service. In Gamma Sigma Girls, matching T-shirts replace uniforms, and earning badges is strictly optional. But the girls are full-fledged Girl Scouts. Gamma Sigma Girls is a school club with a faculty sponsor instead of a parent troop leader and is free for students. Kudos and best of luck!
